The Legendary Journeys

Let's be honest about this- Gyros are street food, and normally I try to put up recipes that they might actually make at the country I'm covering. But this recipe, modified to use pork (like they do in Greece) is certainly delicious.

Of course, real gyros are formed into a cylinder of meat on a spit, turning slowly near a heat source, and then shaved. But you know what? This will still taste good.

Cucumber sauce, sour cream, or even Greek Salad are great condiments for this.
